If thoughts do not arise from the matter of which our bodies are made, whether from the brain or the liver or a kidney, who, or what, is forming conceptual ideas and expressing them in speech?

Now there’s a question to ponder that carries serious consequences! Where did life come from that animates our bodies for a time, then leaves us at the moment of death? How did life come to fill the earth and manifest itself in such a variety of creatures? Science cannot tell us. “Never mind,” says Richard Dawkins, as he sees the sandy foundation of atheism eroding around him, “we’re working on that.”
